Olden Polynice. Marc Ivaroni may be the only UVA big man with a longer NBA career.

Mike Scott if for no other reason than his fifth yr. Dude was ridiculous with the baseline fader. Should’ve been accpoy, and was essentially the one to establish the program after a few years plagued by transfers and poor league play

As a Big Man I am considering center and taking Ted Jeffries. Big T started everygame at UVa his 4 years except for 2 where he let a 4th year start in his place for senior day. I dont remember him ever being injured and sitting out either. Was undersized in that ACC most every game as well. Very underrated passer out of the post and great team defender. That lefty hook!

It’s Junior but yeah Norm was a helluva nomination snub. Might be the runner up. I protest Scott being called a big man.

Does Marc Iavaroni qualify as a big (6’8")? If so, he deserves a nomination.

Norm was kinda frustratingly passive his first three years. But, man, he was a BEAST his fourth year.

Junior, but I was a big Travis Watson guy. Dude was a beast. Had a nice career overseas too.

Junior was the man. I loved Norm but he wasn’t Junior. Travis Watson probably had the best raw material and if he played in a system that better suited him we may look at him totally different.

But Junior was the man.

Junior, idk how close it even is… Travis Watson was a beast…AG was also crazy efficient, especially his last 2 yrs.

Tough one but I’m going with Junior. Mike Scott was pretty close with that going-extinct mid-range game.
